Everything about cost basis, privacy, pricing, and what makes BullionKeeper different from a generic portfolio app. Can't find your answer? Get in touch.
BullionKeeper is a portfolio tracker built specifically for physical precious metals collectors — gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper. It tracks weight, purity, and cost basis per purchase, compares your holdings against live spot prices, and gives you real gain/loss numbers, not a generic stock-app approximation.
No. BullionKeeper is built for collectors first — you can log a piece with just a metal type and a rough weight if that's all you have. Cost basis, purity, and documentation can be added later.
Yes, free forever — up to 25 holdings, Gold and Silver tracking, live spot prices, cost basis, goals, wishlist, and 2 price alerts. No credit card required, no trial that expires.
The app is built with React Native / Expo and runs on iOS, Android, and the web from one codebase. Native app store releases are rolling out — the web app works fully today at app.bullionkeeper.com.
Cost basis is the total amount you actually paid for a piece — spot price plus any premium, shipping, insurance, or tax — not just the spot price on the day you bought it. Comparing cost basis (not spot-at-purchase) against today's spot price is the only way to know your real gain or loss.
Live spot price × your actual weight and purity, summed across every holding, in your chosen currency. Weight is stored in grams internally and converted for display, so unit mixing (grams, ounces, tolas) never causes a calculation error.
50+ fiat currencies including USD, INR, GBP, AED, EUR, CAD, AUD, SGD, and HKD. Spot prices and your portfolio value update in your chosen currency, and you can switch anytime from settings.
Several times a day, matching how physical bullion dealers actually price — they set a rate for the day and revise it periodically, not tick-by-tick. BullionKeeper shows you exactly when the rate last updated and when the next update lands, so you're never guessing at freshness.
Yes — front and back photos plus invoice storage for every piece, on the Vault Elite plan. It's the difference between a spreadsheet row and an actual record you could hand to an insurer or an heir.
Yes. Your data is encrypted in transit and stored securely, and we never sell it to advertisers or data brokers. Guest mode keeps everything local on your device — nothing ever leaves your phone.
It's local-first — your holdings, cost basis, and photos are always available without a connection. Spot prices need connectivity to refresh, but you'll never lose access to your own records.
Yes — XLSX spreadsheet export and a full PDF portfolio statement, both available anytime, so your records are never locked inside the app.
Yes — Verify a Deal compares any dealer's quoted price against live spot and shows you the premium in one tap, so you know whether you're paying a fair markup before you commit.
Yes — set up a recurring DCA plan for any metal and get reminders when a buy is due, with the plan tracked alongside your actual holdings so you can see how closely you're sticking to it.
Yes, anonymously — the Community Benchmark shows how your average cost basis compares to other collectors, without ever sharing your identity or exact holdings.
A year-grouped timeline for the story behind your collection — notes on where you found a piece, why it matters, and an "on this day" memory feed. At year-end it becomes a shareable yearly recap.
Yes — Family Vault lets you add beneficiaries, assign view or beneficiary roles, and export an executor-ready estate report, so the people you leave your collection to actually know what's there.
Vault Elite users can import CSV order history directly from APMEX, JM Bullion, and Kitco, plus a generic CSV importer for any other format or your own spreadsheet.
Monthly subscribers churn hardest industry-wide, and precious metals collecting is a long-term habit, not a month-to-month one. Yearly and Lifetime keep pricing simple and reward collectors who are in it for the long haul.
Lifetime access is limited to the first 200 members at $299. Once that batch sells through, the price rises for new lifetime purchasers — existing Founding Members keep their access forever regardless.
Yes — Vault Elite is tied to your account, not the platform you purchased on. Buy on web, sign into the app with the same email, and Elite unlocks automatically.
Yes. Cancelling a Yearly plan never deletes your existing data — it only stops new purchases beyond the free plan's limits once the current billing period ends.
